				I live in a townhome where we can't have pets. But I don't want my lil guy growing up without a animal around. Does anybody know a small dog breed that doesn't bark like a fiend? or a cat for people that are allergic to cats?

				Murphdogg,
A hairless cat is ok for allergies.

				Murphdogg,
a black labrador retriever is the perfect small dog breed for any situation, a fixed male is the best...and they seriously do breed a fairly small version that are great dogs and something to consider, best dog ever.. But thats probably still to big so a small mixed breed terrier, fixed female puppy from a unwanted litter...got honey from a batch taken to the pound and she was a great little dog...tarzan too, they don't bark much and are more of the stealth attack type dog...great protectors of who they are raised with.

				Murphdogg,
the best of the mixed terriers are the short/slick haired ones that look like they got some weenie dog in their history...no shed, no bark, fast learners.

				Murphdogg,
I've heard the easiest, quietest dog on the planet is an old Great Dane.  They'll find a sofa and occupy it, essentially becoming a piece of furniture that eats by the bucket and shits by the ton.

				Murphdogg,
They do breed hypo-allergenic cats. They just cost 4-7 thousand dollars
